Chad Mendes Posts Statement Regarding Recent USADA Flag

Following the news that Chad Mendes has been notified by USADA of a potential anti-doping violation, the featherweight contender hadn’t said anything publicly, until Saturday.

Earlier this month, the UFC and USADA announced that Mendes has been flagged; however, no specific details regarding the notification were disclosed. While it remains to be seen what’s going to happen next, Mendes recently tweeted out the following comment:

I didn't do my homework and that was a big mistake. I own it and I'm going to pay for it.
